Well it looks like I may have been correct.......but for the wrong reasons. looks like the orientation of our friend the Azores high may well introduce a fair amount of cloud especially for eastern coasts. Just goes to show how little orientation shifts of the high can change everything. Still a good chance of a fair amount of sunshine for some places and most certainly useable days.

Just looking on the model thread page, looking good for high pressure to set in from the end of this week, not certain how Scotland will fare in this though, all depends on the orientation I suppose. It seems that we could get a quite cloudy setup as air may come from off the Atlantic! Please shoot me down in flames if I have this wrong, would appreciate input from the more experienced of my scottish forum buddies.

A chilly 12c outside with a keen wind. Very sunny though. Today is giving a taste of those lovely arctic outbreaks that occur later on. When it's -3 or below at night and upto 15c during the day.The heating had to go on a couple nights ago. Anyone else had to resort to this?My house is old and cold, my room was down to 12c so it needed a help I'm ashamed to admit
I have recently moved into a flat in an old town house in Dunfermline which hardly gets the sun, my heating has been on a few times already! Woud love some late summer high pressure dominated weather, hard to see at the moment though. On a good note, great lampost out side my back door so great for lamp watching if we get any snow!

Afternoon all.
First post of the year after being busy moving house. Now a further 5 miles inland and another 400ft up so looking forward to this winter!
Saw the first geese last night when i got home from work. Seems early to me - anyone else seen any?
Saw a whole flock over Dunfermline on the way home yesterday, it does seem a little early, last year my first sightings were in late September!

I'm a relative newbie when it comes to models... what does 'FI' mean? I've come up with a few possibilities but none of them work in context!

that's the way I read it that its interaction with the trough is going to be key as to just how much it deepens as it comes in and we probably wont get the full story on just how deep it will be till we see just how much interaction there will be also there is reasonable power in the jet stream as well at that time so will surely be some interaction with this also so one to watch as it may really wrap up as it approaches similar to we saw during the winter

I for one don't really mind seeing this just now and hopefully can bring on a proper wind fest autumn this time round and get it all out the way before we get to winter
this shows better and I am wondering if we may get a sting jet coming from this one again similar to winter and it wouldn't be out of the question with America falling into a similar pattern as winter with cold troughs digging south into the country

I am looking for the Atlantic hurricane season to kick off, normally bring us our Autumn gales. With the current set up and if the Atlantic did become more active, do you think that a good proportion of ex hurricanes would be UK bound? If so I am wondering what this may do to our setup heading into Autumn and winter?

A fine morning after a great evening yesterday in Dunfermline and Alloa. Just wondering if Scotland may take the brunt of the coming of Bertha, if indeed she actually hits us, lots of conjecture in the model thread as you would expect. Confusing to me is the fact that one model has Bertha strengthen as it approaches the UK, is this because of the energy already over us from the trough? excuse my ignorance about this!
-
So warm here now in Alloa, hard to work! another sleepless night I think, even with the ceiling fan on full blast! Love the summer weather but a night or two relief would be great!

Lovely day in East Lothian, and I can see the Cirrus out east in the North Sea
Yesterday has to have been the best day of summer here in Lochgelly, and i saw the cirrus too trying to make in roads. Lots of low cloud and haar this morning.
-
Fairly cloudy here in Alloa this morning, but the air still smells nice and fresh and its a good useable day.
-
I am wondering about the extent of cloud cover in the coming week with the high being to the west, chances for substantial parts of our east coast to be fairly cloudy, still useable days but it seems that west may be best. Just looking at the model thread and they are jigging he high about a bit until later on its slap bang over us. Interesting times coming up I think.

Cracking day today, just a few splashes this morning, feels round about 20c, warmer in direct sun. Hope this holds for the weekend, cycling and climbing in Attadale and Skye on saturday through till Monday.

Currently a mixture of heavy cloud and periods of sunshine here in Alloa. In the sunshine its very nice, pleasant. Looking like it could be distinctly cold next week, what are the chances of some BIG showers and storms do you think?

Latest ECM at +144hrs. I don't believe it!

It's three weeks late for April Fool's Day.
The later frames are sick with hail, sleet and snow showers at the start of May in the northern half of the country, 850 temps of -7ºC.
I expect some pretty hefty sowers too with possible thunder if we have any length of sunshine!

Was playing tennis at Dunfermline tennis club yesterday evenin and I must admit it was very pleasant, nice and mild, dry with the sounds of racquet on ball. almost seemed like asummer evening. Looking good in alloa too at the moment!

Well spent yesterday afternoon playing tennis at Dunfermline Tennis Club and it was lovely, brigh continuous sunshine. Today is no different here at my work in Alloa, after a very cold start -3 at lochgelly. Long may it last!
-
Cracking day in Alloa after having to scrape a quite heavy frost off the car. The ground seemed to be frozen fora good few centimetres too, think it was colder than ws forecast at the BBC.

Big squall racing through Lochgelly atm with winds really gusting (feels like about 50mph), lots of small hail, rain and sleet. Cool!
And now crystal clear skies and lovely sunshine!

What classic lovely Autumn/summer weather, long may it last. Lifts the spirit! Great to see the fields in full harvest and the tractors out ploughing, so different to some recent years!
